Full ack.

Nack. I think debhelper is the right place for this, since it is already
patching maintainer scripts for various reasons. What I would like to
see is a dh_something which would expand my #DEBHELPER# stem in
foo.preinst removing the obsolete conffile mentioned either on the
dh_something command line or in debian/foo.obsoleteconffile or
something.
Do you want a wishlist bugreport on debhelper for this?
Cheers.
